Why do many German sannyasins come to the commune for a few months but refuse to join European communes?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"In the sanctuary of my commune, the German sannyasins find respect and love, a taste of freedom that dissolves the shadows of their past; returning to Europe would mean surrendering once more to the oppressive imprint of history."
According to Osho, many German sannyasins avoid European communes because the German psyche still carries Adolf Hitler’s shadow—an ingrained, oppressive conditioning. At his commune they feel uniquely respected, loved, dignified, and begin to relax, tasting a freer atmosphere. Returning to Europe would re-immerse them in the same collective imprint, so they prefer to stay where healing and deconditioning unfold.
They feel loved and safe at Osho’s commune and don’t want to go back to a German atmosphere still heavy with Hitler’s old shadow.
